Obsessive Tycoon and His Swan Girl
Chapter 209 - 209 209 Admitting It Personally

Chapter 209: Chapter 209: Admitting It Personally Chapter 209: Chapter 209: Admitting It Personally “I have a proposal here; take a look.” Jiang Zhe posted the content in the group chat, where Qin Jingchen, Fen Ye, Qin Hai, and Qin He were present.

It was the same proposal she had previously given to Wan Si.

Recycling of plastic waste.

Upon clicking to take a look, Fen Ye couldn’t help but burst out, “Holy shit. Using it as new energy!”

Qin Jingchen followed suit and opened it.

Waste plastic is a global challenge, time-consuming and labor-intensive to deal with, and unprofitable.

Yet, the solution Jiang Zhe provided not only dealt with the issue but also enabled recycling.

“I knew before that there was a company in M Country doing this, but I thought it was just charity work, not profitable. I had no idea it could also be done like this. If it really works, then all the plastic pollution wouldn’t be much of a problem anymore, and it could even generate revenue,” Fen Ye said admiringly after reading the materials, “and it could even be used for new energy!”

Seeing Jiang Zhe’s calm demeanor, with her eyes slightly drooping, Qin Jingchen knew that she had come up with the proposal herself.

Such capability, talent, and initiative were indispensable to achieve this extent.

The Huanye Alliance and Yuanlong could also produce such research, but it would inevitably consume countless human and material resources.

As for other organizations and institutions, it was even harder to engage in such ventures with marginal effects, not to mention the bottomless pit of financial support required from behind the scenes.

Jiang Zhe’s age, her abilities, her temperament… truly exceptional.

With a slightly furrowed brow, Qin Jingchen sincerely said, “Thank you.”

“No need, if not for you, I would have given it to someone else.”

Jiang Zhe had given it to Wan Si in M Country, but Wan Si’s reach didn’t extend to Dragon Emperor Country.

The environmental significance of this matter far outweighed the financial benefits. Disposing of those wastes for the good of the country and its people, Jiang Zhe had already planned to find someone to hand it over to during this period.

Having Qin Jingchen was just perfect for her to “digest” it internally.

“I remember, my sister-in-law mentioned this at the previous new energy and environmental protection lecture and exchange conference, didn’t she?”

“I touched on the fundamentals,” Jiang Zhe nodded.

Qin He was amazed. He recalled how the entire audience was buzzing at that time. Many professionals were seeking Jiang Zhe, trying to speak a word or two with her. And yet, Jiang Zhe had only touched upon the fundamentals.

If she actually shared the contents she held, it was unimaginable how big a sensation it would cause.

Qin He remembered something. “Miss Jiang, I heard there’s going to be a commendation assembly at the school to praise you for the award you won.”

“Yes, tomorrow.” Jiang Zhe originally had little interest in the commendation assembly, but it was of great significance to Lou Qiaoyin, so she didn’t refuse.

“Can we come and attend it tomorrow?” Qin He asked eagerly.

Fen Ye thought Qin He was really becoming obsessed with Jiang Zhe lately. He hurriedly glanced at Qin Jingchen’s expression through the rearview mirror and saw it was steady, realizing he had overthought it—how could Qin Jingchen be jealous of Qin He?

Perhaps Qin Jingchen had already realized that what Qin He felt was admiration, not fondness.

Qin Jingchen, too, looked at Jiang Zhe; what Qin He had said was exactly what he wanted to ask.

“If you have the time,” Jiang Zhe replied.

“Then we’ll come tomorrow,” Qin Jingchen said as he took her hand again.

Jiang Zhe twitched slightly, his grip was too tight to pull away.

She couldn’t be bothered to move anymore and just let him keep holding on. The winter sun shone through the window, warming them comfortably.

…

The school was determined to make a big show of the commendation assembly for Jiang Zhe.

This is an international award, an international honor; it’s a big deal.

The school even invited quite a few reporters to attend.

Meng Yirou felt quite bitter when she heard the news.

She should have received such treatment after winning the first prize.

However, with a special grand prize taking precedence, it wouldn’t look good for the school to make a big fuss over her first prize, so they just held a simple award ceremony in class and called it done.

Her deskmate whispered, “Yirou, is that Jiang Zhe really as impressive as they say?”

“She’s alright,” Meng Yirou replied nonchalantly.

“What exactly did she talk about in her presentation that warranted such a reaction? Hasn’t First High seen anything like this before?” her deskmate asked incredulously.

It was then that Meng Yirou realized she hadn’t seriously looked into the content of Jiang Zhe’s presentation.

But the organizer’s official website had recorded the content and turned it into videos, which were very convenient to access.

She immediately opened it to study seriously.

After listening, Meng Yirou realized that Jiang Zhe’s topic mostly revolved around the recycling and reuse of waste plastics as new energy materials.

It all sounded quite sensational; its feasibility was doubtful, but many in the audience were indeed intrigued by her talk.

Many people questioned Jiang Zhe, and she responded with ease, sparking even more interest in the topic.

Meng Yirou felt that Jiang Zhe was just good at talking. When she was preparing her own presentation, she had researched many materials on the topic and knew that recycling alone was a huge challenge, a global problem, let alone reuse.

Therefore, Meng Yirou hadn’t focused her research in that direction.

After watching the video, she thought that Jiang Zhe really dared to say anything.

She would talk boldly about anything and everything.

Despite her complaints, Meng Yirou still went online to check the related materials on the website.

Upon investigating, she discovered that there indeed was such technology!

It wasn’t quite mature, but numerous prospective companies were eagerly pursuing it.

A company in M Country was currently investing in this project.

No wonder Meng Yirou had seen Jiang Zhe communicating with a man the other day — it turned out that man was Wan Si, the CEO investing in this project.

Meng Yirou continued her research and found that a tech blogger, who was also a doctoral student at a research institute, had been working on this field continuously.

This doctoral student was constantly conducting experiments and revising data, posting his work on his blog.

Due to the highly specialized content, and the fact that he concealed some key data and information, there weren’t many people responding to him on Weibo, and his account didn’t attract many followers. Most of the time, it seemed he was just amusing himself by documenting his progress.

Such technology actually existed.

Meng Yirou was quite surprised.

But then she remembered that in the video, Jiang Zhe had mentioned she was doing this research herself?

Meng Yirou went back and scrutinized Jiang Zhe’s entire presentation from beginning to end, parsing it word by word.

And then she spotted an issue—some of the data and content Jiang Zhe mentioned matched precisely with that of the doctoral student!

The things the doctoral student didn’t mention, neither did she.

But even the slightest reference she made had caused quite a stir and admiration among the audience.

Moreover, Jiang Zhe had admitted in one of her statements that this was her own content and research!
